摘要 A harrow drawing and transporting device attachable to a three point linkage at the rear of a tractor comprising a compound beam of two parallel single beams and having rotatable brackets so that by pivoting at the brackets the beam can be compounded in the vertical plane for harrow transporting or the horizontal plane for harrow drawing. The brackets extend to form fork arms which are disposed vertically when the harrows are being drawn from the device and are disposed horizontally to permit the harrows to be transported by the fork arms. The fork arms can be manipulated in the horizontal plane to make them ground contacting or ground clearing by operation of the three-point linkage.
权利要求
1. A harrow drawing and transporting device attachable to a three point linkage at the rear of a tractor, comprising: a. a frame for attaching said drawing and transporting device to said three point linkage; b. a first beam centrally and rigidly supported by said frame transverse to the line of movement of the tractor; c. spaced apart brackets rotatably mounted on said first beam; d. fork arms secured to said brackets so as to be pivotally mounted on said beam and to be movable from the horizontal to the vertical positions; e. a second beam substantially parallel to and spaced from said first beam, said second beam being fixedly mounted to the said fork arms at the pivoted ends of said fork arms; f. support fillets mounted on said first beam acting against said rotatable brackets; g. support fillets mounted on said second beam, said support fillets on both beams being relatively disposed so that compounding of the beams at the fillets takes place when the fork arms are in the horizontal or vertical positions; and h. means for trailing harrows from the compound beams so that when said fork arms are in the vertical position said first and second beams compound to act to reinforce each other in the horizontal harrow towing plane when said harrows are being towed and when said fork amrs are in the horizontal ground level position the first and second beams compound to act to reinforce each other in the vertical plane when said harrows are detached and loaded on the fork arms and then lifted clear of the ground by operation of the three point linkage.
2. The harrow drawing and transporting device specified in claim 1 wherein the support fillets, mounted on said first beam, comprise first and second fillets which are spaced 90* apart.
3. The harrow drawing and transporting device specified in claim 1 wherein the support fillets, mounted on said second beam, are fixedly secured to the rotatable brackets and to said second beam.
4. The harrow drawing and transporting device specified in claim 2 wherein the support fillets mounted on said second beam cooperate with either of the spaced fillets when the fork arms are vertical and with the other of the spaced fillets when the fork arms are horizontal.
5. The harrow drawing and transporting device specified in claim 1 wherein the support fillets mounted on said first beam are mounted on said rotatable brackets and fixedly mounted on said fork arms.
6. The harrow drawing and transporting device specified in claim 1 comprising a second plurality of brackets, said second brackets being fixedly mounted on said second beam and rotatably mounted on said first beam, the support fillets mounted on said second beam being fixedly mounted to said second beam and to each of said second brackets.
